Hanging with the Guys
Last night I went out with the guys. You know, my old buddies from highschool. The gang I used to chill with in highschool. On Wednesday evenings we'd go to church and then go to Poe's where his mother would cook us all dinner and then we'd watch Southpark or Star Trek. Just, the guys.
Not all of them were there sadly. Poe and Woodward couldn't make it, well, Woodward got lost (go figure). He wasn't the brightest of us all. But Eric and his wife, Dana, were there. They just got married the day before. But that's "Hush Hush" As well as Chuck, Nick Robinson, Luke, and Luke's older brother, Jason. Though Jason never participated in the Wednesday night festivities, he did however run our DnD games and DMed for us. And since he's older and on a much higher maturity level than the rest of the guys, we get along quite well.
Anywho.. we all gathered in Arlington at a bar called, Sherlock's. I had never been there before but it was a really awesome place. It was big, spacious, and had three seperate rooms. In the main room was the bar and an area for seating. In front of the seating was a small stage where a pretty decent cover band was playing. In the second room was the game area. There were pool tables, Air hockey tables, and Darts. This is where I located the gang. So for the next four hours, they drank, we played pool, and just hung out. It was like old times, just a new addition! We had a great time.
I got to play two games of pool. At first I was really nervous about playing. I usually suck at games especially when people are around and watching me, but I actually rocked. Jason and I were partners. On my first little round, I actually sank four balls. Then at the end, we were all chasing the 8 ball, but you know who got it? Me! That's right baby! I kicked Chuck and Luke's butt big time! Mwa ha ha!! So we had a rematch. Jason broke since we had won the last game. Then Chuck was up... he got all of his colors in during his one round! We were shocked and amazed. Jason and I thought we'd have no chance. But he encouraged me and then I went for my turn. Yeah.. suckage. Major suckage. I sadly rejoined the group to watch Luke beat us. But then, the most unbelievable thing occured. He went to hit the eight ball and called the far corner pocket. But as fate would have it.. the eight ball bounced off the back and rolled toward us and fell into the close corner pocket. We had won by default! It was beautiful!!
The rest of the night was spent in talking and enjoying the company of old friends. It was so wonderful to see everyone again. It's a shame that we're all split up and scattered abroad. But I suppose it makes those memories and moments like these, oh so precious and wonderful
